The salary of Lane Kiffin at Alabama has doubled to $1.4 million.

It runs from July 1, 2016 to Feb. 28, 2017.

Kiffin made $714,000 last season under a three-year deal that ran through this season.

Kiffin had been receiving a buyout from USC.

"It was a significant amount and that ended June 30 of this year," athletic director Bill Battle told trustees. "It is what the top coordinators are making and Lane has been very effective for us the two years that he's been here. We feel like this is very appropriate for what he should be making."
